Twadell Mountain is a 2,293-foot-high (699 m) mountain in the Catskill Mountains of New York. It is located north-northeast of East Branch in Delaware County. Rock Rift Mountain is located north-northwest, and Baxter Mountain is located east of Twadell Mountain. In May 1910, a 45-foot-tall (14 m) modified windmill tower was built on the mountain for fire lookout purposes. In 1919, the windmill tower was replaced with a 47-foot-tall (14 m) steel lookout tower. The tower ceased fire lookout operations at the end of the 1972 fire lookout season. The tower still remains but is closed to the public.
